<p>LOL LOL LOL <br />
How old are you ???<br />
How oblivious??</p>
<p>You obviously think YEARS more than 4 --- he has been out less than 5 years.... and he did not come out willingly. </p>
<p>Do know that he was FORCED out the professional closet by Perez Hilton who was sick of seeing him party it up as a gay guy while not being out to the American public.</p>
<p>His manager even released a DENIAL that he was gay.</p>
<p>Only then did he start to PROFIT off being out and gay ... after he was FORCED to do so.</p>
<p>He cared more about his career and bank account than equality for OTHERS.</p>
<p>GAY RIGHTS should not be about YOURSELF it is about fighting for others.</p>
<p>He was FORCED to be out.<br />
NOT A GAY HERO.</p>
<p>Perez also outed Lance Bass for being a pathetic self-focus hypocrite --- as he did to Ricky Martin.</p>rafi commented on 'CBS Poll: 77 Percent of Americans Know Someone Gay or Lesbian'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef013483a41ff6970c2010-06-09T19:24:50Z2010-06-09T19:24:50Zrafi"Forty-three percent of Americans currently see homosexual relations between consenting adults as 'wrong'..."

<p>No one ever asked me to weigh-in on the private life of another... </p>
<p>The poll itself, further perpetuates the idea that people&#39;s disapproval is relevant or presents some kind of justifiable reason for furthering second-class status. </p>
<p>Pisses me off... however, keep comin&#39; out of the closet &amp; raise your voice. It&#39;s the only way. </p>Bryan Irrera commented on 'CBS Poll: 77 Percent of Americans Know Someone Gay or Lesbian'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef0133f0791024970b2010-06-09T14:29:27Z2010-06-09T14:29:27ZBryan IrreraWalter: Neil Patrick Harris?

Also, his playing Barney Stinson (as well as the fictional version of himself in the Harold/Kumar movies) is proof that out gay men can play heterosexual characters easily/believably (though I think his greatness heterosexual role in recent years was probably Dr. Horrible).</p>Walter commented on 'CBS Poll: 77 Percent of Americans Know Someone Gay or Lesbian'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef013483a2893d970c2010-06-09T14:25:52Z2010-06-09T14:25:52ZWalterYet more proof that the true enemies of equality are the those who stay in the closet.

<p>Especially those who are out in private but in the closet to the public for their own personal career / monetary gains.</p>
<p>Celebrity and High Profile closet cases are the worst --- and should never be forgiven.</p>
<p>Especially when they are named Ricky Martin, Anderson Cooper, Neil Patrick Harris, Sean Hayes and Lance Bass. </p>Mike in the Tundra commented on 'CBS Poll: 77 Percent of Americans Know Someone Gay or Lesbian'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef0133f078f2dd970b2010-06-09T14:08:48Z2010-06-09T14:08:48ZMike in the TundraThe percentage is probably well over 90%.

It&#39;s just that they don&#39;t know they have relatives, friends, or coworkers who are gay or lesbian but closeted. The more people that come out of the closet, the better for all of us.</p>TampaZeke commented on 'CBS Poll: 77 Percent of Americans Know Someone Gay or Lesbian'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef013483a24b32970c2010-06-09T13:36:01Z2010-06-09T13:36:01ZTampaZekeAnd the other 23% are too blind, too stupid, too clueless or too in denial to know that they know...<p>And the other 23% are too blind, too stupid, too clueless or too in denial to know that they know gay people too!</p>
